On this episode the entire discussion is about getting ready for the Toronto Blue Jays Wild Card game against the Baltimore Orioles! There is some contemplative sighing and some worried humming. But hey it's all random so what can anybody really do about it? Just listen.

Melissa Couto (@Throwinsmoke) joins the show to talk about the Summer Olympics and the prevalence of women's athletes making news, as well as a little bit of Blue Jays talk. Plus, as always, listener questions and Sad/Not Sad.

We look back at the moves made by the Blue Jays and around the MLB at the trade deadline. Trades for Francisco Liriano, Scott Feldman, and Melvin Upton Jr, as well as the Rangers loading up and the Yankees being sellers.

Comedian / Curler / Teacher / Podcaster John Cullen joins us after travelling all the way from Vancouver to talk about Kevin Durant choosing to join the Golden State Warriors, the state of the NHL, and answer a bunch of questions.

Patreon subscriber Dave Burrows recorded a podcast with Devang from a bar in Vancouver and for a lack of anything better to do with that audio we edited it and posted it as the Sportsfeld West Coast Special.
